I’m a big fan of easy, of mushrooms, and boneless chicken thighs. That makes this a new favorite recipe. I found it because I was doing a search for boneless chicken thigh recipes and wanted to use up my mushrooms that I had.
What I can tell you is that this dish was a real winner! My photo may not look that impressive, but the flavor was amazing. I encourage you to give this chicken thigh recipe a try!
The original recipe mentioned adding wine to the mix when cooking the mushrooms. I didn’t have any white wine handy, so dumped in a little chicken stock and used that to deglaze my cast iron pan prior to cooking the mushrooms.

Notes
*You can use fresh herbs if you have them. Increase the amounts 2 teaspoons each of herbs if they are fresh and not dried. If you don’t like Thyme or Rosemary, substitute with Basil and Oregano, or use Tarragon.
Optional: For even more amazing flavor, add in 1/3 cup dry white wine or chicken stock before adding your mushrooms to deglaze the pan. Cook it down to half before adding the mushrooms back into the pan.
